..requires an acceptable revised\completed central bank gold sales plan and currency exchange terms from Venezuela....perhaps that could be a fly in the ointment. Does it make sense to enter into this deal without those details taken care of in writing? You can throw in the permit for that matter. Maybe I'm just not a trusting guy....but a wink and a nod from Hugo regarding the approved permit "sometime in the third quarter" would not be enough for me. I WOULD WANT IT IN F"N WRITING!
